Patent GB-190123109-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Water Gauges for Steam Boilers and the like.
Inventor: PARKER LEMUEL
Filed: 1901-11-15
Granted: 1902-01-16
Abstract: 23,109. Parker, L. Nov. 15. Gauge-glass fittings.-Relates to means whereby the glass may be cleaned by passing boiler water through it on opening the blow-through cock, without interfering with the action of self-closing valves in the event of the glass breaking. The upper and lower fittings are connected by a pipe T through which steam can constantly obtain access to the passage F below the valve J. A second valve R is preferably supported in a cage S to close over a seating P when the glass breaks, but the pipe T is of such a size that the passage of steam through it on opening the blow-through cock D will reduce the pressure below the valve R to a corresponding degree with the reduction above it, so that the valve remains open. On opening the cock D, the pressure is reduced in the upper fitting and water rushes upward through the glass, and water and steam escape together through the pipe T and the cock D. A spiral guide is fitted at K to give the water a whirling motion in order to increase its cleaning effect. A small passage at Q is provided to restore equilibrium of pressure to reopen the valve R, should it be accidentally closed at any time. The glass is kept from rising by projecting vanes V on the top plug.

Patent GB-190214263-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Power Hammers and Stamps.
Inventor: LONGWORTH DANIEL
Filed: 1902-06-24
Granted: 1903-06-24
Abstract: 14,263. Longworth, D. June 24, Hammers, power.-Relates to pneumatic hammers in which the bead is connected to a piston, working in a cylinder, communicating with a second cylinder, having its piston actuated by a crank shaft, driven by a belt, or directly by a steam, gas, oil, or other motor. Means are provided for holding the hammer up or down, and for varying the strength of the blows. Fig. 3 shows a hammer in which the cylinders are placed side by side, but the invention is equally applicable to other arrangements of the cylinders. The crank shaft is boxed in, and rotates in an oil bath to provide for splash lubrication, and to prevent scale, dust, &c. from penetrating to the working parts. At about mid-stroke the actuating-piston uncovers a port J<1>, and places the top of the cylinder in communication with the atmosphere. In a modification of the arrangement shown, a passage is arranged in the cylinder wall, opening below into the casing E, and at the top into the cylinder at about the middle of its length. At the top of the actuating. cylinder is a passage M, having two regulating-ports M<1>, M<2> and two clearance ports are controlled by a regulating-valve H, actuated by a band-lever, or by a treadle. A passage K, leading to the top of the hammercylinder, opens into the actuating-cylinder below the head ot the piston when the port J<1> is open. When this passage K is opened by the regulating- valve, the hammer head is raised, and held up A second passage L opens into the passage L' in the piston, when the air in the actuating-cylinder, above the piston, is under compression. When this passage L is opened, by depressing the regulating-valve, the hammer head is held down. The part K' is somewhat below the head of the hammercylinder, to provide a cushioning-space, from which the air escapes through a groove R. The air to force the piston down also passes through the groove. The clearance ports communicate through the space H<2> in the valve with ports 0, O<1> leadmg to two clearance spaces, at the sides of the valve chamber G. When these ports are open, the air compressed in the actuating-cylinder passes partly into the clearance spaces, and the blow of the hammer is then a minimum. By closing one or both of the clearance ports the blow is increased. The weight of the blow is also regulated by closing one of the ports M<1>, M<2>. A separate valve may be used to control the clearance ports. The hammer shown is a single-acting one, but the invention is equally applicable to a double acting one. When the hammer head is connected to its piston by a rod, the rod is made of enlarged diameter at the end connected to the bead.

Title: Improvements in Vapour Burners for Heating.
Inventor: FRIEDMANN MAX
Filed: 1903-07-13
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 15,517. Friedmann, M., and Knoller, R. July 13. Liquid-fuel fittings.-The vapour burner and injector is shown as applied to a boiler furnace. It consists of a vapour nozzle a, an injector casing b, through which air is drawn to complete combustion, a cone i with apertures, the nozzle c, the gasefiers d, and the shell e. By means of the baffle - piece f on the mouth of the nozzle, the burning gas is deflected towards the air supply. Holes k and the annular space within the cone prevent the flame, on striking- back, from reaching the nozzle a. The gasefier d round the nozzle c may be curved in S or U form in such a manner that the turns are approximately parallel to the direction of the jet. The gasifier is rendered independent of the reflection from the walls of the combustion chamber in which the burner is placed, owing to radiation from the heated shell e. Instead of one nozzle, several nozzles, concentrically or laterally disposed, may be employed.
